Question

Angelo reads 1&1/2 pages in 3 minutes. Find his reading speed in pages per hour

Answer 1

30 pages a hour

Explanation:

1.5 every 3 minutes

there is 60 minuts in an hou you already have 3 so thimes it by 20 to get 60 then times 60 by 1.5

Answer 2

30 pages per hour

Explanation:

Angelo reads 1&1/2 pages in 3 minutes.

`1 (1)/(2) =(3)/(2)`

3/2 pages read in 3 minutes, we need to find the pages read in 1 hour

we know that 1 hour = 60 minutes

In 3 minutes pages read = 3/2

To find out reading speed, we divide number of pages by minutes

Reading speed per minute=
`((3)/(2) )/(3) =(1)/(2)`

So his reading speed in pages per hour is
`(1)/(2) \cdot 60= 30`

30 pages per hour
